Poll: What Do People Think About Solar?

More than three-quarters of voters across party lines want to see
their electric utilities invest more in solar energy – the most favored
form of electricity among those polled – and they want more action by
the government to encourage the use of both large- and small-scale solar
power, according to new polling on people’s attitudes about energy.

The
Global Strategy Group poll, released today at Solar Power
International, illustrates solar energy’s widespread appeal among voters
and national support for pro-solar policies, such as net metering and
renewable portfolio standards (RPS), says the Solar Energy Industries
Association (SEIA), which commissioned the poll.
